Nobody’s stopping you from expressing your opinion. But why express your opinion if not in an attempt to persuade and convince. I expressed my mine - with facts - not personal feelings. The death penalty is exercised in less than half of one percent of total homicides in a year. That is not a rampant call for 1st degree punishment.
As for the lack of intelligence on the part of jurors, I see it lead to letting murderers get off scot-free more than lead to more harsher punishments.
When a jury is stupid a trial is essentially reduced to a high school debate being judged by retarded children.
